rackAID is seeking a graphics/web designperson/team to assist with a redesign of our web site.
We expect this to require a fair amount of time in planning, developing and then tweaking the final design. I would expect at least 1-2 hours in pre-design consultation to see if our preliminary ideas are on target. We are sysadmins not designers. ;) We will likely need continued support for new graphics, ads, etc. So 20-40 hours of work may not be unreasonable.
Please review requirements carefully. If you meet the requirements, see the project description below.
